As you noted earlier, yep, nailed it. A shopping centre carpark has many benefits, but the cul-de-sac at his HJs had little to offer except for identifiable location. I would have liked the home delivery we were promised, but transporter driver was unsure about location, and ability to...

Well. Today was a bonus. After 36 weeks out of a 13-20 week delivery window, I finally have my Blue LR. I've previously whinged about difficulties with communications with Tesla, I whinged about the rigidity of the dispatch crew, and maybe a few other things as well. I was blocked from picking...

Sorry. didn't mean to sound stroppy. Just frustrated. yet maybe i am stroppy.... but,being told to chill also sounds stroppy, doesn't it? I agree with you that It doesn't change anything really, save for the forlorn hope that Tesla or even EM might listen and do something about our concerns. I...

If our unhappiness was with "just the bloody car" we'd be much less vocal. The fact that the car cost more than a kidney could be discussed and debated . I see the unhappiness in the disrespect and disregard many of us [apparently not all, yet] have experienced for over 6 months as a much more...

Maximillan, I don't disagree with the wording of the agreement. I guess most of us have read and re-read that statement several times. Perhaps time is of the essence when Tesla [not the individuals we encounter] has some priority, and thus rigidity in scheduling. Yet time seems to a random...

I got really close to cancelling, except my wife was more resilient. then excitement rebuilt when i got my VIN 16th July, and then the delivery call. Disillusionment came back with a rush when we were only allowed 1 day and a half to collect. until i reminded then We live 750kn away, and they...

Been a month since i got my VIN. Delivery call last week. Unfortunately regional transport delay put delivery back till September 6th. Also unfortunately cant change to pick up either. Just gotta wait some more...

I'm in 70s. Am I allowed to be more disgraceful??

Except for hooning laws.

I'm unfamiliar with the variants in BMW range, but i guess none were slouches.

About 30 years ago i had a vaguely similar experience in Mazda RX4 rotary. Not silent, but quiet enough that my mate called a sewing machine. Up against a power brute of unrecalled origin, and matched him, even after allowing him a head start. Despite the city roads - its was fun!!

I used to hang out for those videos, and search all the dock sites, and inspect the carparks. But now all irrleevant . ... deliever early next week.

... and your recent ICE was....???

I'll be in CBR in a couple of weeks with the new blue M3LR [ delievery due early next week], and family are keen to experience. any recommendations where its "safe {enough}" to demo the thrills you speak of??

Thanks *Sparkles*. My wife and I have been big fans of Tesla for years. Indeed, my wife still is. but for both of us there have been many disappointments throughout this waiting period, and I've commented on them through our "time together". won't go over them again. As you say indirectly, stay...

drove kids to bus stop 3 doors down?? drove back a different way via longreach?? ended up in traffic [not in Longreach] testing regen brakeing?? go off onto local roads [in Longreach] ??? go home ,booted laptop. Turned it off again to go to Longreach for milk???

As i said earlier, I got a call yesterday to say car is ready. Just checked my account page. No surprise Payments Next Steps We will shortly upload a copy of your final invoice to your Tesla account. Following this, a delivery representative will contact you to arrange final payment. Please...

Thanks Ormaus. Till now my experience has been less than Ideal. I trust that things will improve after the car arrives

Couldn't agree more. Although I like the car, I'm really not liking the company. In my regional city, there are several car dealerships i've purchased from, and I now have a personal black-ban on several of them, and happy to tell friends and acquaintances about. Similarly there remain one or...

Well, what a day. So many people booking pickups at delivery centre. I too got a call from Tesla today about lunchtime. But despite the excitement about pending delivery, attitude was not positive. Yes, "your car is ready for pick up" "could you come in today of tomorrow?". No I'm 750km away and...

Don't Know. need others with more knowledge than I have for answer. Redrum says more speeding tickets in it though.

I'm curious about these motor qualities and differences. my LR has a "K" motor [dual, hairpin], which shows on RAV as 366kW. that seems way more than other motor types mentioned above. What are the implications??

My M3 due any day is a replacement for my Honda CRZ Hybrid that I took delivery of almost exactly 10 years ago [sold it 3 months back]. I got my first speeding ticket within the first 100km. better luck to you [ No No - not in first 50] 🤣🤣

Yeah. "reach out soon" was on my account in February in relation to invoice. Its there again for my inquiry about Powerwall - three months ago. Someone in Tesla need to discover what the word "soon" means

Thank you garylovesbeer, for interesting update on driving experience. just wondering why a 10A outside power outlet, why not 15A or even 32A?? I've had 15A's installed athome and office, but i think i should have gone 32s.

But yet they [as in councils generally] are willing to allow a fuel station on each corner opposite each other :rolleyes:

Just as well I'm retired. I now know how much work is required to put you back together again -like Humpty. Its far easier to just take delivery of a new Tesla, then nothing else matters :D

Psychologist boundary issues: don't do business with friends, they soon cease being friends.

I live rural, and do only limited urban driving , so my original "launch mode" test in Brissy, and my limited 20 min drive in Canberra were not adequate to evaluate the car for non-urban driving. I would have loved an opportunity for an over-nighter, or even a chance to drive out of town. That...

Impressive. My SA seemed like he didn't want to know me [us] once we signed up. Over the following months i sent a couple of emails, that took ages to gain a reply. The only real contact with him came when he rang to inform about the delivery delay [ Remember "that" call we all got in about...

ha ha ha - no not, really. not unless my powerball comes in. Just justifying coming out of retirement and charging [pun] very high fees.

Its interesting to know that some SAs allowed overnight test drive. My test drive in CBR in Feb was limited to 20 minutes, and on a predetermined route. I was quite annoyed to be so limited for the dearest car i ever bought. However, a private sale owner allowed about 50km test drive. About 4...

My fees are very VERY V E R Y high, just to pay for the power my new toy will demand, let alone consider an Y as well.

Impressive. But yet i dont trust it. Has potential for complacency and risk. In fact, didn't order it. I'd prefer the drive myself.

Got that on order as well. BUT.... another long wait. Lodged on line 3 months ago, and not a squeak from SA. Reckon I'll need Powerball as well

I have two properties. I have electric mover on one, cost me $30 12 years ago, and still going strong. At home, my acreage requrires Just had power outage .... My home requires work of two ride-ons, and a slasher. Bit much for electric, so far at least.

I'm looking for the day I pull up at the pump IN MY TESLA to fuel a jerry can for my mower and ATV. I want to see the looks on peoples' faces:D

Mine's first trucked to Brissy, then again to CQ. I'm trucked if i know how long it will take, but my garage is clean and ready [again]

Too Long????

My "pick up" will be local in CQ, but will keep an eye out for you CBR blues in early October.

Yep. My car was on it !!! yiiipppppeeeeeee

I stayed on the page for about 3 days, then jumped off. Unfortunately FB is not so forgiving, and now haunt me intensely.

NO - I'm retired. 😄😄😄

I travel RKY to Canberra several times a year as well as Blue MTS. I like to vary my route as scenery change so always looking at options. NSW seems to have a very good spread of charge points, though still hope to see more offering in future. Soon after i take delivery of my M3LR I'll be...

I guess you mean Isa, not Mt Morgan?? QESH along the coast. Flinders Hwy I'm less familiar with. My routes often away from coast, and PlugShare shows sufficient option , but not always well equipped.

Like you - I'm regional. Also like you - no accessories yet. Best value - i reckon the charging leads. I travel away from cities [therefore LR]and likely to have little access to Superchargers. I figure I'll need the widest range of connection options at various motels, showgrounds, and [dare I...

**** Joke alert **** Does that then mean that Tesla has heard our whinge about no communication, and are now trying to communicate their communication😏

Agree. I was not aware that the delay was extended by that much time. I know Townsville port can accommodate many of the RORO ships and i have seen evidence on ship tracker that they do. Its a pity that our NQ cars [and even Darwin cars!!!] are not unloaded at TSV. I guess that the numbers are...

Yep. with mine onboard also:p

Nothing here. been checking all day.
